It was an ominous day for Australia, which they spend forlornly, Alastair Cook was the reason behind Aussies’s despond, Cook devastated hosts bowling department by another catastrophic century in second battle for Ashes. He played one of stunning inning of unbeaten 136 in Ashes history, to gave full command to England.

England started their inning with panic, they faced early loss of Strauss in just second over of the morning, on that occasion, Strauss was on 3 and it was also England’s total. After departure of him, Cook and Trott fleshed out a vigorous partnership, which melts every hope for victory of Australia. They gloriously scored 173 runs together by ruining Australian bowling ethics. Aussie lost their temperament by non stop acceleration of opponent’s blabber bats.
